Congressional Budget Office Seeks Analysts for Nuclear Forces and Defense Systems
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO), a nonpartisan agency providing economic, budgetary, and policy analysis to Congress, is actively recruiting analysts for its National Security Division. These analysts will be tasked with conducting studies on the costs and capabilities of various defense systems and potential acquisition programs. The scope of their work includes conventional weapons, military aviation, space systems, command, control, and communications (C3) systems, nuclear forces, and air and missile defense programs. The CBO's recent publications in this division have covered analyses of the 10-year costs associated with nuclear forces, national missile defense strategies, homeland cruise missile defenses, proliferated satellite constellations, hypersonic weapons, and small unmanned aircraft systems. Analysts are expected to communicate their findings to Congress and the public through various formats, including reports, letters, briefings, testimony, and innovative digital publications.
